I hear you, but you’re reading into this too much - I’m simply concerned about not crapping the bed in Initial & being as prepared for that as possible, not brown-nosing my way into the corner office or any office for that matter (if that was my goal, I’d be seeking to do something else with my life, right?).

There’s lots of ways to train & build time toward ATP mins and everyone ends up on a slightly different path, due to some combination of choice & the ever-present facts of life - I’m just trying to foster discussion on the pluses & minuses of those different paths among those who have flown with multiple individuals of different backgrounds to learn a way other than the hard way.
